Competition watchdog raises concerns over Wilhelmsen-Drew deal
Statutory board notes that parties are largest players with extensive networks; it will start Phase 2 review

CCS noted that the two parties involved in the proposed deal are two of the largest players that possess extensive global networks of end-to-end distribution and ancillary services for the provision of chemicals, gases and equipment to the marine sector, and they appear to be each other's closest competitors.
